Robert Oster Toffee Ink Review<\/p><\/div>\n

During our review of Robert Oster Toffee ink, we found the following characteristics that you may find useful when selecting your next ink purchase:<\/p>\n

Testing Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We used a French-made J. Herbin glass dip pen on Rhodia dot pad paper for our review of Robert Oster Toffee ink.\u00a0Other writing instruments and paper may produce a different result.<\/p>\n

Bottle Size<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Robert Oster Signature inks<\/a> come in a standard, environmentally friendly, opaque plastic 50 ml. bottle.\u00a0Each bottle is identical down to the simple white label on top designating the color of the ink with a small color swatch.\u00a0Although there is no additional external packaging with Robert Oster inks, we have not had problems with bottles breaking or leaking during shipment.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Robert Oster Toffee ink retails for $17.00 in the USA.\u00a0Robert Oster has other specialty inks at higher price points. For example, the Shake ‘N’ Shimmy ink series retails for around $25.00 US. Overall, Robert Oster inks, including Toffee, are a mid-ranged priced ink. All Robert Oster inks are imported from Australia.<\/p>\n

Dry Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During our review of Robert Oster Toffee ink, we found a very reasonable dry time of approximately 5-6 seconds.\u00a0We view anything under 10 seconds as an everyday ink option.<\/p>\n

Bleed Through<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We found absolutely no bleed-through during Pen Chalet’s review of Robert Oster Toffee ink, even during our cotton swab test.<\/p>\n

Feathering<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During our review of Robert Oster Toffee ink, we found no ink feathering (using Rhodia paper).\u00a0However, during our water test, we did notice some line distortion and slight feathering, which is typical for non-waterproof ink.<\/p>\n

Water Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During the Pen Chalet review<\/a> of Robert Oster Toffee ink, we conducted a water test. After an ink sample dried for about three minutes, we ran a soaking wet cotton swab over the sample. \u00a0Our test produced significant color smearing, some slight feathering, and line distortion.\u00a0These results are not a-typical for a non-waterproof ink.<\/p>\n

Shading<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Robert Oster Toffee ink has wonderful shading traits that will produce a darker brown toffee shade to a lighter brown-orange color.\u00a0As with most ink, the shading experienced will depend mainly upon the user’s penmanship, paper, and fountain pen nib.<\/p>\n

Conclusions about Robert Oster Toffee Ink<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Robert Oster Toffee ink is an excellent addition to Robert Oster’s Australian color palate.\u00a0It is a very soft light brown shade with hints of a dusty orange.\u00a0It has a very reasonable dry time of 5-6 seconds, shades beautifully and is reasonably priced.\u00a0Toffee also shows up well on paper even though it’s a lighter brown color. It would be a solid choice for letters, cards, notes, and other projects where a non-typical black or blue ink is appropriate.\u00a0Happy Writing from Australia!<\/p>\n
